Last season saw a much different Minnesota Golden Gophers team and one that nearly found themselves in the Big Ten title game. As the new season begins for coach Jerry Kill and quarterback Mitch Leidner, Minnesota has big expectations on taking the next step. There is the one very big game on the schedule with a trip to Ohio State in early November which will be the biggest measuring stick of them all. They do host Wisconsin to end the season in a game that could once again decide the West Division title but will instead be a chance for Minnesota to make a bowl game which the Gophers would lose. Minnesota will play in the Quick Lane Bowl. Here is a look at the 2015 schedule for the Golden Gophers.
